World Cup Final

Sunday July 10th, 2010.
Spain and The Netherlands in the final. Both have never won before..
Holland played a great cup, working its way to the final game.
I noticed early on that they weren't playing very smooth and fluid like they had before, and I was getting less excited for our victory every minute. This did not look good.
The score was 0-0 by the end of the game, so they went into overtime.
Both teams had some great opportunities, especially Holland, but they didn't take them. It almost seemed like they didn't really want it..
Spain scored a beautiful goal in the 119th minute, just a few seconds before they would have gone to penalty kicks, which Holland would have definitely won, as the Spanish keeper really kinda sucked.
Holland was defeated. I could not believe that just happened! Total shock at our house!
My in laws watched the game with us, and we had dinner together, which was nice. We still had a good day because of that.
Chris and I agreed later, after my in laws left, that we would have had entirely different reactions to the game LOL
All in all a good game, and a great day. Too bad Holland didn't win, but Spain definitely deserved it.
